Funeral Potato Casserole is a perfect side dish for a lot of meals. However our favorite is with sliced ham and a salad of your choice. Where I live they prepare a luncheon when people pass away for the family members because a lot of them live out of town. There aren’t a lot of places to eat and it makes it very nice for the family.
